Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

01

Vent Inspection

We inspect the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, checking for blockages, damage, and proper termination.

02

Lint Removal

A rotary brush and powerful vacuum system removes lint from the full length of the duct, including bends and elbows.

03

Exterior Vent Check

The exterior termination cap is cleaned, inspected for damage, and confirmed to be properly dampered to prevent pests.

04

Test Run

The dryer is run briefly to confirm adequate airflow through the cleaned vent before the job is complete.

Dryer Vent Cleaning FAQ for New York City Homeowners

How often should New York City homeowners get dryer vent cleaning?
Given New York City's harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging masonry, most homeowners benefit from dryer vent cleaning at least once a year. Winter ice dam formation on flat roofs often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New York City most need dryer vent cleaning?
Brownstones and townhouses and Pre-war apartment buildings are the most common home types in New York City and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Annually for most households. Larger families, those with long vent runs, or gas dryers benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months.
What are the signs of a clogged dryer vent?
Clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer getting very hot to the touch, a burning smell during operation, or the laundry room feeling humid are all warning signs.
Can I clean my dryer vent myself?
Accessible short runs can be DIY-cleaned with a brush kit. However, long runs, multiple bends, and hard-to-reach exterior vents benefit from professional equipment that reaches the full duct length.
Is dryer vent cleaning really a fire hazard?
Yes. The U.S. Fire Administration reports dryer fires cause an estimated 2,900 home fires annually, with failure to clean being the leading cause.
